The cameras can shoot in 360 degrees, motion sensors and lasers to capture 3-D images and distances.
Armchair adventurers will not only be to able to gaze at the Amazon, they’ll be able to peek inside buildings as the camera has filmed some villages and paths that lead into the thick jungle.

Speaking to paper, Matt Brandon, a TV producer who filmed with presenter Bruce Parry in the Amazon, said: “I think it’s great for everyone to be able to see the Amazon in this way. “If you're fortunate enough to able to actually go there, then you should grab it with both hands,” he added.
